Hanging on by a Blogroll

One week has passed since I imploded. I see a downward trend in the number of blog posts I've been doing per month since April. Even if I wrote everyday for the next week, I would not be reversing that trend in July. But hey, the sun is in Leo now, and lions are totally my power animal, so I'm thinking it's a good time to go out and get my mojo back.

In the meantime, here are some things I read this week.

Train Like an Athlete:

• Five things to know about racing in the heat.
• The five worst habits of runners. I am guilty of #1 and #5. 
• Five things I wish I knew before I started running.
• Five things to do after every run. Apparently five is the magic number for this list today.

Eat Like an Athlete: 

• Five ways to finally quit sugar. Five!
• Seven tips for setting food boundaries.
• So you want to stop craving sweets. I don't know if I agree with these tips... for me, abstinence is key, but maybe they'll work for you.

Think Like an Athlete: 

• Five ways running can help when you're feeling sad. Five again!
• Twenty things you know when you are dating (or are married to) a runner.
• Three words to say to yourself when you're feeling anxious.

Sleep Like an Athlete:

• Once again, I am coming up short on anything relevant about sleep this week. So instead, how about 15 summer movie reviews presented in haiku? (See also: Running haiku presented by Nicole).

Today's blog is brought to you by the number 5.
